ScrollDuration, FrameDuration, WrapFrames

You can easily customize the appearance and transition between frames of the Telerik ASP.NET Rotator. ScrollDuration specifies the speed in milliseconds for scrolling the rotator frames, while FrameDuration defines the time in milliseconds each frame will be displayed in automatic scrolling scenarios. When set to true, WrapFrames configures Telerik ASP.NET Rotator to start scrolling the rotator frames from the beginning, once the rotator shows the last frame. Users have control and can customize all of the above-mentioned features.

Live XML

The ASP.NET Rotator control by Telerik has support for live XML feeds. Users can make use of this feature very easily - all they need to do is use an XmlDataSource source and set it to the URL of the live feed. Finally, they might need to set the XmlDataSource's XPath (e.g. "rss/channel/item" for RSS feeds). This way they could easily deliver public news to their site using their own formatting and styling.

Server Events

RadRotator has a server side event - ItemClicked. Developers may choose to use this event to perform various actions. The event supplies a special RadRotatorClickEventArgs class which contains reference to the frame that was clicked by the user. You can use that reference to obtain the ItemIndex of the frame and use it in your own event handling logic.
